After 3 excruciating hours of unpacking my furniture into my room and setting it all up I fell back down on my bed. I'm not cut out for this kind of work out I mean my exercise consists of walking up stairs, walking to the fridge and occasionally running to the toilet. But now I guess I have just done my work out for the next 50 years.

I sit up on my bed and make my way over to my window. I still haven't been able to process the fact that the view to this Useless and incredibly stupid window is into some persons bedroom next door.

I mean seriously what kind of idiotic architect does that, I mean talk about invasion of privacy. I take a moment to observe the room, the room mainly consists of the colour black. It's basically like an average teenage bedroom it consists of a desk, bed, TV, wardrobe and a couple of band posters.

And let me just tell you the kid has some good taste in music.

All of a sudden I hear a door knob turn except it isn't my door that someone is trying to open. Out of nowhere a guy barges into the room directly opposite mine.

Being the genius I am I take a step back not noticing there is a soccer ball behind me and fall on my butt with a loud thump. "Hello?" I hear an amazing raspy voice say. "Crap" I say out loud instantly covering my mouth as soon as I said it, Great job Brooke now any chance you had of making your great escape has just gone out the window along with your pride and your lack of shame.

I decided to stand up slowly hoping to God he already doesn't think I'm a complete psychopath. "Hey uh­-sorry about that I kind of tripped over, me being clumsy and all," I tried to explain but every single word that came out of my mouth made me want to constantly smash my head against the wall. I looked up and my heart stopped.

Holy macaroni how it is even possible for any human to be that gorgeous beats me. He was wearing ripped black skinny jeans and a Metallica T­shirt, whilst his blonde hair was sticking out in all sorts of directions, it didn't help when I looked in his blue eyes... Do you think he can hear my heartbeat from here?

I mentally punched myself, Come on Brooke you know what kind of guy he is he probably has the entire school population swooning over him, not to mention he is probably one of those boys who like girls are just like a bunch of toys he can play with whenever he wants.

"You finished checking me out yet" He joked as he moved closer to the window. "I­-I don't know what you're talking about" oh no please tell me I wasn't staring at him for that long. "Of course you do princess, I mean I can't really blame you. Who wouldn't want to just look at these all day?" he flexed his bicep. "I'm sorry did you just call me princess?" I questioned. Wow he is like my brother in a way I mean they are both equally cocky not to mention can be egotistic jerks.

He didn't even need to answer his breath taking smirk said it all. I marched over to the window and leaned out till I was just a few inches from his face. "Listen here buddy I'm not in the mood to put up with you egotistic maniacs okay? In case you haven't noticed the whole world doesn't revolve around you. So don't think you are going to call me names like princess and expect me to bow down to you,"

with that I slammed the window shut then closed my blinds. I slid down the wall till I was eventually sitting down. I'm proud of myself for standing my ground but then again he only called me princess and then I had to go and declare World War 2.

I shrugged it off and made my way to the bathroom. I looked at my appearance in the mirror my blonde hair was everywhere and unlike the guy next door I couldn't pull of the look. I was wearing my light denim skinny jeans, my favourite not to mention over worn my chemical romance T­shirt and my new white converse.

In other words I looked slightly homeless, so I decided to have a shower to end a horrible Sunday.

===========================

After I had my shower I made my way down stairs in my batman pyjamas. "She's alive" My dad joked as I went to take a seat on the stool at the counter. I rolled my eyes "So what's for dinner dad" My stomach rumbled at the thought of food.

He smiled and I instantly knew what we were having, soon after I matched His smile as he held up a pamphlet to a pizza place. "Yes!" excitedly I walked over to my dad to see what pizzas they had, although I already knew what pizza I wanted.

"So what pizza do you want" my dad asked as he turned to face me. I gave him a look to say are you kidding me. "Yeah you're right stupid question, Meat lovers it is... But you are going to have to pick it up."

I internally groaned but I really wanted the pizza. I made my way upstairs and put on my black sweatpants and a plain white T­shirt.

Grabbing my keys and phone, I walked to my car I received as a 16th birthday present from my dad last year. It is a KIA RIO and isn't that bad of a car either.

After about 10 minutes my navigator notified me that I had finally arrived, I stepped out of my car and made my way over to the small almost empty pizza place.

I took a seat and waited for my order, I couldn't help but think back to earlier today when I met the next bachelor (AKA my next door neighbour).

I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't even notice the devil himself walk right in and sit next to me. "Hey princess".
